Laws Concerning Captive Wives

10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

On Good and Bad People

I think a good person doesn’t think one way or another about themselves. They don’t say, “Yeah, I’m a good person.” Because that's a sure sign they’re not. Nor do they say, “You know, I’m awful.” Although that’s often the first step to becoming good.

I’d say bad people don’t really feel like they’re bad. They feel like they’re good. I’ve met lots of people through the internet. Maybe about a score of a thousand of them. It’s the ones who cannot understand how evil they are—and you hear it in all of their words—that really are the ones who raise the hairs on the back of my neck. You know they’re dangerous… you can just sense it, and they’ll lash out at you for anything you say to them. I’ve ministered the gospel to a lot of these people, and surely enough, they’re always the ones that bring up the verses about slavery and genocide—because that’s the part of the Bible that judges them for their sin. And they’ll twist scripture in ways that totally distort its meaning, saying they have it all answered. And normally, these same people think they’re actually good. I honestly think if those people were good, they’d understand a lot more than they presume.

Or the ones who say, “There’s moral atheists,” are the same ones who will say that morals are subjective and man made, which begs the question, if something like “Cannibalism” were normative in the culture, and they ate human meat, would they still call themselves moral? The answer is yes they would, because they already justify murder through abortion and LGBT lifestyle, despite it being so gross. They include that in their knowledge of philosophy. It’s a mind game. “I know moral atheists” is as valid a statement as “I know moral cannibals.” It's just if the culture deems it, so it is, and they perfectly validate it through those means, throwing out the millennia of natural religion that saw those things as aberrant. For instance, in Greek and Latin they didn’t even have a word for the behavior, Paul had to literally make it up. That's how abnormal LGBT is. But, it’s being spun that it’s perfectly normal, but there’s been laws against it many times in history, often for the fact that it crops up, and usually perverts everyone and causes stupid thoughts to arise in people, that leads to selfish behavior, and then every human atrocity ever imagined.

So, generally, I don't think bad people have the capacity to know they’re bad. And I’ve always noticed the absolute worst sorts of offenders, truly believe they’re good people, or they call themselves “Moral.” I truly don’t see moral people anywhere. I did when I was younger, see moral people. But that was with Christianity. I’ve seen two moral Muslims. But generally, we’re all sinners, in need of salvation. And that’s who Christ is, is to take our punishment into His flesh, because no one is good.

On Real Witchcraft

There is no “Meal infused with witchcraft.” So, the curse will not fall upon you. Just look at the hearts of those you dine with, if they are with you. If not, they will curse you with their hands, and seed hatred in your brethren. As that’s the only witchcraft. They will fill your mind with evil, and not good. They will cause you and tempt you to do what is not right, in order to have evidence against you, and testify that you are wicked.

That’s the only witchcraft. Which, if you give to the poor, and have a charitable heart toward your neighbor, and love your brother and do not slander him, even though you’ve sinned, you will be delivered.

On Feeding the Multitudes and Finding a Meaning in It

Some things aren’t filled with ulterior meanings. It’s just Christ was a miracle worker, and increased the food for the multitudes. Basically, you could take that to mean that if you’re wealthy to feed the hungry. Of course, Jesus did it twice… you’d wonder why He didn’t just do that all the time. But, He healed many diseases, too. He also cleansed the temple twice.

I guess, the two times He fed the multitudes, is a metaphor about timing. How, to do the right thing in the moment, rather than trying to do everything haphazardly, but to do the good deed you have in front of you. And only that, since it’s in your purview. As a lot of people believe they have to go out looking for good to do. No… let Jesus be your guide, it will find you if it’s in your capability. And if it is, do it.

Cretans Are Always Liars

Paul heard a Judaizer say "Cretans are always Liars." The source is a Cretan philosopher named Epimenides. Showing the distinction of contradiction... I think Paul was a learned enough man to expose the false prophets, for making a show of knowledge that the statement is paradoxical... for the Judaizer told the truth, but in that truth were indeed a veiled lie. Showing "Cretans are always liars" is itself a lie, as that syntactic idea exposes the unbeliever and the Judaizer, that even when telling the truth, they still lie.

Homosexuality in Medieval Europe

Christianity always censured Homosexuality, but laws against it didn’t start until 1260AD and really began being implemented in 1280AD, meaning it wasn’t really prominent. And preachers began preaching on it by 1100AD showing it was a new thing, otherwise they would have preached against it much earlier. And Pope Boniface was martyred in 1303AD. Or not Martyred, but he might as well have been. The Pope wanted European solidarity so as to avoid war and conflict, which France took him into prison, and beat him, and he died of his beatings a little later. Which France seems to be the nation where the royalty had the most penchant for homoerotic relationships, showing a correlation of corruption with the behavior. And God was wrathful with the world for martyring a peacemaker, and it led to a turbulent period—one of the worst in human history—throughout the 14th century.

Every source I looked at showed the laws became stricter later in the middle ages, showing it had to have become more prevalent then, for them to take notice. And for preachers like Allen De Lille to preach against it. Showing a direct correlation with homosexuality and corrupt government.

Why Homosexuality is a Sin

The first and most blatant reason,
Is that it is dirty. Butts and mouths are not
Orifices  for sex organs.
And all the other ways
Seem to be artificial
Or not so satisfying.

It is also a non reciprocal way
Of having sex. There is always
One receiving pleasure
And another not.
Meaning it can never be equally satisfying.

It is self centered.
Homoeroticism is a sign of narcissism.
It develops in the minds of those
Who are selfish. To desire one's
Homogenous sex, means one
Has a desire for their own form
And not the opposite form.
Meaning, their libido is turned inward
And when this happens it is classic narcissism.
You can tell by the voice acting men use
That they are being narcissistic;
And the women make themselves look like men.

It skews the Logos.
People who are homosexual
Cannot---I've never met one---
Know right from wrong on any
Basic level. Therefore, it creates 
A slippery slope where it slides
Into worse and worse behaviors.
Such as right now, with Pedophilia
Being attempted to be normalized
And men competing in women's sports.
People who are homosexual
And those who accept them
Cannot know what is good or right
In order to distinguish it from evil.

It also creates a strain on the supply
Of healthy sexual partners.
Those who are homosexual eat up
The surplus of mates, and therefore
Create scarcity for spouses within the culture.
This, in turn, spreads frustration
And increases the occurrence of Involuntary Celibacy.
Because spouses are harder to come by
When three out of every fifty people
Are cut from the gene pool.

And finally, it does not create life.
It, being purely hedonistic,
Encourages others to view sex
As a toy, and not a serious bodily function
Which can create a human life.
Thereby, Homosexuality leads
To an attitude about sex that it can be
Merely about pleasure.
And thereby, it causes those
Within the culture to view sex
Hedonistically. And thereby
It leads to unwanted babies,
And therefore abortions,
And therefore unloved children,
And therefore it destroys
The culture's fidelity.
As, when a culture's view on sex
Is skewed, it cannot be happy.

Herod’s Temple

The temple under construction by Herod---
It need be destroyed by Roman might;
For it was not good being built by him.
For now I understand the political climate---
A gentile made the Temple great
For the greatness of his kingdom.
And the Jews loved it, but God hated it.
How it is, that that Ruler King of Tyre
Sealeth up the Sum, and seals the temple
Yet it is unlawful, and must be toppled down
By the very villains who raised it.

A Word Study on The Most Controversial Verse in the Bible

Deuteronomy:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

 25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

Word there for "Force" is:

[H2388] (chazaq/khaw-zak') a primitive root; to 
fasten upon; hence, to seize, be strong (figuratively, 
courageous, causatively strengthen, cure, help, 
repair, fortify), obstinate; to bind, restrain, conquer
:--aid, amend, X calker, catch, cleave, confirm, be 
constant, constrain, continue, be of good (take) 
courage(-ous, -ly), encourage (self), be established, 
fasten, force, fortify, make hard, harden, help, (lay) 
hold (fast), lean, maintain, play the man, mend, 
become (wax) mighty, prevail, be recovered, repair, 
retain, seize, be (wax) sore, strengthen (self), be 
stout, be (make, shew, wax) strong(-er), be sure, 
take (hold), be urgent, behave self valiantly, 
withstand.

28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Word there for "Lay Hold on Her" is:

[H8610] (taphas/taw-fas') a primitive root; to 
manipulate, i.e. seize; chiefly to capture, wield, 
specifically, to overlay; figuratively, to use 
unwarrantably:--catch, handle, (lay, take) hold (on, 
over), stop, X surely, surprise, take.

Genesis 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

H8610 is the same word used here for "Handle".

Exodus 22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

The word "Entice" is:

[H6601] (pathah/paw-thaw') a primitive root; to 
open, i.e. be (causatively, make) roomy; usually 
figuratively (in a mental or moral sense) to be 
(causatively, make) simple or (in a sinister way) 
delude:--allure, deceive, enlarge, entice, flatter, 
persuade, silly (one). 

The difference between the Bride Price in Exodus and Deuteronomy, is the level of enticement. The first is the moral grey area which Me Too addresses, where a woman half consents, but doesn't resist. The second is when the woman is persuaded fully. But, in both cases the woman is to be married, by the father's wish. 

But if the woman fights, and resists--even if not very well, as some women are extremely timid--and cried out, it is rape, and only the man will be put to death.
